a. Unless it is specifically stated, the police officers taking the report might not know that the two men, or the two women, involved in the domestic abuse incident are a couple.
b. Those who choose law enforcement as a career tend to be more "homophobic" and thus may feel uncomfortable filing a domestic abuse report for same-sex couples.
c. Studies show that gay men or lesbians tend to have lower self-esteem than heterosexuals, thus leading to the tendency to underreport report incidences of domestic abuse.
